Tom
Bearden.(cheniere.org).nuclear
engineer points out Whittaker's equations (1904) giving a mathematical
model that is apparently very
real in its implications.
Two scalar energy components can be beamed to a remote
interaction zone, then real, measurable, transversely-polarized EM (electromagnetic),
conventional, register-on-our-instruments type energy arises in the interaction
zone. Or, two conventional EM beams can be made to interact exactly out
of phase and time-reversed, so that they exactly cancel each other out,
yet *something* is there in the time/place where the beams are interacting,
maybe think of it as a stress in space-time, that can produce a voltage.
That something is 'scalar'.

3 speakers, is not 3 times louder but 9 times louder than 1 speaker and
